Each of us in one of the career related practices has "the
answers" from our perspective. However, for those we serve, the answers are much
more complex and challenging.
The Career Resource Forum, a community based approach to
access career oriented information, brought together the many voices of career
oriented assistance in its annual FORUM on April 23rd.

good fit... creating an interpretation dialog using MBTI, Strong and
other tools. Presenters: Cheri Butler, UTA Career Center, Brian
Allen, Southwest Airlines, and Chuck Canfield, The Strategic Process

this year's Forum. Facilitators, presenters and audience all shared in a unique
learning experience, truly creating the "interactive learning" that will
make IT happen.
